catalinacaper Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The great thing about being the Lakers is that one of your stars can be playing well below their potential and you can still dominate games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pau hasnt even showed up in this series and Kobe didnt do shit last nite either. Their best 2 players did almost nothing last nite and they still won pretty easily. Its a nice luxury having someone like Odom coming off the bench and having three 7 footers. Odom came in and took over. Earned that 6th man award.

I will always love to hate the Lakers just like I hate the Yankees because they are always at least decent if not great and they seem to be able to get any player they want, but you have to respect how well that team is built.

zac Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Marc>Pau Now THAT is some funny shit So far in the playoffs that is exactly the case. Game 1 Marc: 24 pts (9/10 FG), 9 reb, 3 assists, 2 blocks Pau: 8 pts (2/9 FG), 6 reb, 6 assists, 2 blocks Game 2 Marc: 12 pts (2/9 FG), 17 reb, 2 assists, 1 block Pau: 8 pts (2/10 FG), 5 reb, 1 assist, 3 blocks Not to mention that Marc is playing against a hall of famer in Duncan vs the back up bigs that Pau is playing against for the Hornets.

You're starting a team. You can pick between Pau or Marc...who do you take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 ^^ i think that's kind of a hard question. the thing with pau is that his ceiling (in my opinion) is WAY higher than marc's. if pau plays his best game, he's arguably a top-10 player in the league. the problem is, he takes way too many nights off. he plays soft way too often. marc will give you the same effort and same intensity every single night. if i'm starting a team for a season, or for the next 3 years, and i could pick between the two, i'd take pau because over the long run, he'd be the better option. but if i was playing one game, i think i'd take marc because i know exactly what he's going to give me. with pau it's a crapshoot. and obviously, more often than not he plays great. but he has about 15-20 games a year (if not more - and some of them in crucial circumstances) that he plays like a bum.

travis Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Pau gets soft sometimes but I think you'd be crazy to ever pick Marc over Pau! Marc is solid, Id take that guy on my team any time but if Im picking one over the other there is no doubt in my mind that Id take Pau.

catalinacaper Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I would really love to see the Pacers win just one, they have played their asses off in 47 minutes of every game so far, the Bulls look like they're just happy to steal a win every night. Unfortunately for them next round they don't get to play the Pacers again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 and I would love to see the Sixers win (at least) just one. Collins does not deserve to be swept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Chris Bosh reminds me of a dino/human hybrid and just for that reason I want them to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zac Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Here's my take on the Marc and Pau thing. I've had them both, if I want a PF then I'd for sure take Pau but if I want a Center then I take Marc no question. Marc is probably the best passer on the team, has a huge basketball IQ and unlike a ton of Centers, he can actually shoot well. It also help that we have Zach Randolph at the PF (who I'd take over Pau as well ). Also Marc is still very young and is only getting better and he is super intense almost the entire time he's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggle Von Swift Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 And there goes my (at least) one win for the Sixers, awesome game, 10-0 run to close out the game and win by 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalinacaper Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 So how about Rose is in a boot today, getting an MRI for his foot/ankle. Not good for the Bulls. http://twitter.com/#!/SamSmithHoops/status/62232354575499265 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 If Rose cant play the Bulls have no shot at winning another series. I hope he's ok, I wanna see him play and cause some problems for the other teams in the East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
